The screen is blank, the dog is asleep, nobody has to move
A deep crimson screening room where the projector screen glows pale above a low wall of DVDs and a turntable, flanked by tall speakers. Popcorn and two glasses of whisky sit on the coffee table, a golden retriever is folded into the corner of the sofa, and late afternoon leaks in through the one window. It feels like the moment before someone finally presses play.

In this room
- A journal: what you write stays in the room, and only the people you choose can read it.
- A sound of its own — rain, a fire, a radio station to leave playing.
- A clock that keeps your time.
- A window with the real weather where you are.
- A note for the day, where you will see it.
- Frames for your own photographs.
- An assistant that knows the room and what you keep in it.
- A shelf for your files.
- A lamp that turns the room from light to dark.
- The lamps give a soft glow.
- After dark the same room has a night of its own, with its own light.
